I wonder about the best approach to use automation for sending a PM after the ‘very’ first solution.

It’s the ‘very first’ because I found the ‘first solution accepted’ option sends PMs on every one and not just on the ‘very’ first solution.

Is this the expected behavior or did I mess up something? I’m open to ideas and discussions about it.

I just want to send as few PMs and emails as possible, but still let users know we value their contributions as well.
